Changing back to standard 80 Alloys... Advice please

[1self]

Hi all, I Currently have the tyres on the wheels below and will be going back to standard 80 Alloys next week.
Can you advise me on which size of AT tyre would be best suited for 50/50 road off road. I'm not looking for the biggest wheels possible but I am looking for something that would be best for Overlanding and long distances on road or off road.

Thanks
L

IMHO 285 A/T's would be best for your needs. However if you decide to choose another option and the tyres become available I would be most interested in the S/H BFG A/Ts.

I'd also show an interest in the bfgs depending on the price.

Thanks, I will keep you both in mind if I decide to get rid of the current wheels/Tyres.

What size of BFG AT's fit the standard 80 alloys?

Sorry, what I meant was, would a 255/55 be a better all-round tyre than what I have already? Could it be better for on road performance?

My main question is what would the original tyre size have been on the original 80 alloys or what is a size of tyre that would not put the speedo out and make it over read?

Thanks

Thanks Andy, I guess there is not going to be much difference with the dimensions/weight etc between what I already have and what you have quoted as original sizes.
